Ingredients

• Total Time: 20 minutes

• 1 bunch broccoli rabe, (about 1 pound), trimmed

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

• 2 teaspoons red-wine vinegar

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Directions

1. 4 servings, about 2/3 cup each

2. Preheat grill to medium-high.

3. Cook broccoli rabe in a large pot of boiling water until bright green and barely tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain in a colander and rinse with cold water; drain well.

4. Combine oil, vinegar, garlic powder, rosemary, salt and pepper in a large bowl.

5. Grill the broccoli rabe, turning once, until tender and the leaves are just beginning to char, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Toss the broccoli rabe with the reserved dressing.
